The GSX-S1000GX acts as the link between the Sports Tourers and the Adventure Tourers, taking the best of both worlds and shaping the whole with cutting-edge technological solutions.
The GSX-S1000GX, meanwhile, peaks at a claimed 150 hp—still a sizable chunk—at 11,000 rpm, and backs it up with 78 lb.-ft. of peak torque at 9,250 rpm from a 999cc inline-four. Compared to the latest generation of superbike engines, the Suzuki motor has a relatively small 73.4mm bore and long 59mm stroke (the S 1000 XR, for comparison, has an 80mm bore and 49.7mm stroke), which bodes well for its low-down thrust even if it limits the outright peak power. As in other models that use the same engine, there’s a modern suite of electronics including ride-by-wire, a trio of riding modes, and cornering traction control.
